Kids come to TIC not just to gain experience with computers, but for a kind of personal attention, excitement and creativity rarely found elsewhere. TIC's technology instruction is personally challenging, and the half day of sports offers a physical challenge to balance the mental stimulation of the technology. TIC is a place where Technology Is Cool, but it is still camp. Campers choose their own goals and benefit from a 4:1 teaching ratio! The camper counselor relationship is paramount. At TIC we believe that independence, intellectual rigor, affectionate appreciation, creative learning and fun all go together. AT TIC, KIDS LEARN BY HAVING FUN!
